By now you'll have seen plenty of people walking around town with their heads buried in their smartphones playing Pokémon Go.
And you'll have heard all the stories about people finding dead bodies while playing Pokémon Go or catching Pidgeys while their wife gives birth.
So if you haven't managed to get hold of an illegal download in the UK yet, you're probably chomping at the bit to get going and begin your quest to become the best Pokémon trainer in the world.
Well, you're going to have to wait a little longer it seems.
The launch of Pokemon go in Australia, New Zealand and the United States has proven so popular that it keeps crashing the servers, ruining the game for everyone.
Niantic, the Google/Alphabet spinoff that created Pokémon Go with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are of course already aware of the problem and are desperately trying to come up with a fix.
However CEO John Hanke told Business Insider that while they're fixing the server problem, they're going to have to put back launch dates for places like the UK and the Netherlands. That means there is going to be a lot of angry wannabe Pokémon trainers on UK streets.
Hanke said: "We thought the game would be popular, but it obviously struck a nerve."
No shit Sherlock.
Apparently everyone at Niantic is shocked by how popular the game has become even though Pokémon literally took over the world the last time it burst onto the scene - remember the days with the cards and the Gameboy games? The good old days.
Niantic have apparently already made huge strides to fix the problem.
If they could get a wiggle on so we can start playing in the UK too, that'd be fucking grand.
